BELAGAVI: The Amarapur family from Veerapankopp, a small village in Bailhongal taluk, is understood for experimenting with new ways and getting a prime yield from their land in the surrounding villages. But without good enough rainfall, and no different source of water for cultivation, even this pioneering family was helpless.
For Chinnappa Gangappa Amarapur, 61, the farmer who had mastered farming for over 45 years, there was only one method out of the loans and poor crop yield: suicide. Early on the morning of June 7, he ate up pesticide when his family members have been asleep. They later rushed him to Civil Hospital but Amarapur’s health deteriorated and he died on the morning of June eight.
Life was excellent for the Amarapur family: Chinnappa had bought a tractor with a loan of Rs eight lakh from a nationalized financial institution in 2010. He had paid up about Rs 4.5lakh, but for two or three years, he may now not pay the loan instalments due to drought. He planned to pay off his debt with the Rs 1.30lakh -- his sugarcane bill for 2014-15 – he was expecting from Soubhagyalaxmi Sugar manufacturing unit, and Rs 56,000 for 2017-18 from MK Hubballi Sugar Factory.
Despite many protests and calls for, the factories didn't pay the dues. In the center of this, the financial institution despatched a realize for debt clearance, and requested the witnesses to carry Chinnappa to the financial institution each and every time once they visit. The witnesses, who have been Chinnappa’s buddies, used to remind him about the loan.
Shanmuk Amarapaur, 34, the more youthful son of Chinnappa, stated his father was a softspoken and broadminded person who controlled the family’s price range, and were frightened for a couple of days. “We never concept he would take such an extreme step due to the loan. Now our spine is broken. We understand how difficult it's to control a joint family. The health of my mother Fakeerawwa has deteriorated,” he told TOI.
Chinnappa is survived through his spouse, two married sons, one married daughter, daughters-in-law and a grandson. His sons grows soya, jowar and sugar cane in their field. This family owes 3.15 acres and cultivates 2 acres on rent basis.
The tahsildar, MLA Laxmi Hebbalkar, MP Suresh Angadi and different native politicians visited the family and promised to provide aid from the federal government. But not anything has as yet reached the family. “Even after my husband died, those sugar generators have now not paid our dues,” stated Fakeerawwa.
